WarMUX works on Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, PowerPC and Windows.

It is reported to build on the following architectures: alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, mipsel, powerpc, s390 and sparc

To compile it, first download source code. You have two choice:

  • Stable release on download page
  • Development version using Subversion


If you are using Windows, please see Compile WarMUX on Windows page.


Dependencies



Generic dependencies



These dependencies are common to all C++ projects :
  • GNU make
  • GNU g++ (3.0 ?)


WarMUX dependencies



  • libxml2
  • SDL 1.2 (debian: libsdl1.2-dev
  • SDL Image 1.2 (debian: libsdl-image1.2-dev)
    • depends on libjpeg
    • depends on libpng
  • SDL Mixer 1.2 (debian: libsdl-mixer1.2-dev)
    • depends on libogg
    • depends on libvorbis and libvorbisfile
  • SDL TTF 2.0 (debian: libsdl-ttf2.0-dev)
    • depends on libfreetype
  • SDL_gfx 2.0.22 (debian: libsdl-gfx1.2-dev)
  • SDL_net 1.2.6 (debian: libsdl-net1.2-dev)
  • Fribidi (optional, debian: libfribidi-dev)


Subversion version dependencies



If you use the get the source code using Subversion, you will also need :

  • autoconf (2.53 ?)
  • automake 1.5+
  • aclocal 1.5+
  • autoheader


Compilation



Stable version



If you use the stable version of source code :

  • Extract archive
  • Type following commands :
    Code BASH :
    ./configure
make
sudo make install # or su -c "make intall"



Subversion's version



If you use Subversion's version, we will assume you want to modify or study WarMUX source code.
  • Type the following command in the WarMUX directory:
    Code BASH :
    ./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-debug
make
 

  • Then instead of installing the game, you can set the data path:
    Code BASH :
    export WARMUX_DATADIR=./data
export WARMUX_FONT_PATH=./data/font/DejaVuSans.ttf

    You can also add these commands in your ".bashrc" file.
  • Finally, you can run the game directly or from gdb

    Code BASH :
    src/warmux

    Code BASH :
    gdb src/warmux




Configuration



Some interesting ./configure options

  • ./configure --help: Display configure help
  • ./configure --enable-debug: Enable all debug things (assertions, compile including symbols and file name, etc.), useful to debug Wormux
  • ./configure --prefix=/usr: Install WarMUX in /usr instead of /usr/local
    • copy binary in /usr/bin
    • copy data in /usr/share/games/warmux
    • copy locales in /usr/share/locale
  • ./configure --with-datadir-name=warmux: Use old config (don't use games sub-directory)
    • copy binary in /usr/local/bin
    • copy data in /usr/local/share/warmux
    • copy locales in /usr/local/share/locale
  • ./configure --bindir /usr/local/games: Copy warmux binary in /usr/local/games instead of $PREFIX/bin
  • ./configure --with-font-path=./data/font/DejaVuSan.ttf: Set path to the ttf font used by WarMUX, maybe if stored in a subdirectory.


Troubles



Troubles with SDL_gfx directories ?



If you see this message during ./configure step:

Code TEXT :
checking for SDL_rotozoom.h... no
configure: error: SDL_gfx library headers are missing


You can use following command:

Code BASH :
$ ./configure --with-sdl-gfx-prefix=/usr/local


And, if you get another error message when you try to run WarMUX:

Code TEXT :
warmux: error while loading shared libraries:
libSDL_gfx.so.13: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


You can use following command:

Code BASH :
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib ./warmux


Better solution: install SDL_gfx in /usr instead of /usr/local ;-)

New files are not compiled



If you modify WarMUX and add cpp files in source code, you will need to :
  • Add a line in src/Makefile.am (see existing line for syntax)
  • Run ./autogen.sh, ./configure once again. If you don't use Subversion version, you will not have "./autogen.sh" file : in this case, you must use the Subversion version to regenerate your "configure" file.
